Pat Sajak gave a simple farewell on social media Friday ahead of his last 'Wheel of Fortune' episode. The 77-year-old has hosted the game show since 1982.
In a simple message barely longer than most of his 'Wheel of Fortune' puzzles, Pat Sajak bid farewell to fans on social media ahead of his last show on Friday. 'Thank you all so very much,' Sajak, who has hosted 'Wheel' since 1982, wrote on his X page. The 77-year-old’s stint on 8,010 episodes has earned him a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for longest host on the same show and a place in the living rooms and hearts of many Americans in his four-decade run.
He added, 'Timing, tempo, and teamwork. When you look at the timing, game shows reached their zenith in the 1960s and 70s … the timing was like the last few clicks at the top of the roller coaster climb, when it comes to American viewing habits.
